This is really great! Did you use basically the Shingo Sato technique? I tested it out on a dress a while back, but one or two of my pieces could have had a better grainline alignment as I didn’t like how a part of it bunched on my dress.

I love your color usage on this dress!

Thank you, that’s so kind! And I have to confess that the colours were a bit random, as we got the fabrics for this project from our teachers. I decided to go for as many different colours as I could (and I obviously decided the placement of each fabric) within the pattern I made just to see the effect. Glad you liked it :)

If by Shingo Sato Technique, you mean draping the basic pattern on a dress form, marking lines and cutting out my pattern, then no. Some of the people in my class attempted this, though I only worked on a quarter-size pattern to see where I should put my lines, then drafted the pattern by altering my basic pattern as described in my answer to caymango’s question below.
Let me know if you have further questions!
